Abstract

This report describes the STORit demonstration and other STORit activities at the IBC exhibition in September 1999. The demonstration showed the most eye-catching features of TV Anytime, a framework for utilising local storage in broadcasting that was developed by the STORit project partners. These features include easy selection and capture of television programmes (by programming from EPG, web site or trailer), grouping, segmentation, and the use of attractors to allow personalisation. The main goal of our IBC presence, to demonstrate and promote TV Anytime, has been achieved very successfully. The demonstration at the New Technology Campus together with a paper presentation and a panel session on TV Anytime have been excellent advertisements for the newly created TV Anytime forum, a platform for the (pre-)standardisation of TV Anytime.

The report also describes in some detail the demo set-up, the user interface, the hard and software and the data formats employed.
